Santorum, Rand Paul, Jeb Bush to Speak at Convention

Rick Santorum, Rand Paul, Jeb Bush, and Mary Fallin (the governor of Oklahoma) will all speak at the convention, the RNC announced today.

In an interview last night with Greta Van Susteren, RNC chair Reince Priebus remarked he would like to see Palin have a slot at the convention.

“She’s great,” Priebus said of Palin. “I think a lot of her and hope that she does speak.”

So far, none of the top tier of veep contenders has been announced for a slot at the convention — and no times have been announced, either, making it unclear which speakers will get primetime slots and which won’t.
